5 years on and it's still about construction...

it's really this simple: get construction spending back to 'normal' levels and everything else will fall into place.

so, it's nice to see people focus on this subject, once in a while (today, derek thompson at the atlantic).

at various times, i've wondered why kermit baker, the aia's chief economist, can't pull this information together, perhaps in collaboration with the AGC or NAHB. because, if we're going to make a collective political case to help unwind what truly ails us, shouldn't we be demonstrating the economics involved over, and over, and over?

About this Blog

Central to the blog is a long running interest in how we construct practices that enable and promote the kind of work we are all most interested in. From how firms are run, structured, and constructed, the main focus will be on exploring, expanding and demystifying how firms operate. I’ll be interviewing different practices – from startups to nationally recognized firms, bringing to print at least one a month. Our focus will be connecting Archinect readers with the business of practice.
